Re: [julia-users] SharedArray returns unexpected empty values

I compared the speed of the parallel loop : it is 10 times slower (with 4 
cpus) than the simple loop :(

@time @sync @parallel for i=1:800000
  c[i] = prod(a[i], b[i])
end

#println(c)

@time for i=1:800000
  c[i] = prod(a[i], b[i])
end
